Joint Oireachtas Committee on Autism
Autism Policy and Education: Discussion
Ms Mary McGrath:
No problem. As I mentioned earlier, we have experienced challenges in recruiting the 31 therapists that have been sanctioned in the pilot area. I understand it is still a commitment of the Department to work to further expand that project. There have been fantastic results. It is something that we in the NCSE see as being transformative. We hope that this does proceed. There is a lot of work to do around workforce planning and there are challenges recruiting therapists. There is a lot of work going on in the background to drive that forward.
